Ever since i went on instagram and saw the good news (Reminisce signing an endorsement deal with Orijin), i have been ecstatic. <br />
I love Reminisce. As a rapper, he is easily one if the best- witty, direct and intelligent. The problem was brand positioning and in 2014, he worked on that in a major way.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
He has been signed to brands like Samsung and now, Orijin because they know what (and who) he brings to the table. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
I'm happy because Reminisce works hard. So yes...<br />
Bring<br />
It<br />
On!!!</div>

These things happen.<br />
<br />
I was determined to still enjoy it though.<br />
<br />
The show was fun, loads of calls, christmas music all day. I have never actually done that before. I tried a good mix of known carols with original compositions, slow and mid tempo to fast and then of course some powerful vocals.<br />
<br />
<br />
And then there was so much food and drinks courtesy our boss at Top Radio 90.9.<br />
<br />
It is not yet 2pm and i feel i have crammed my Christmas in completely already.<br />
lol<br />

I do not understand it. I hate being hated, it makes me want to crawl into a shell and not come out.<br />
I used to think hate was about me. It was my fault, i had done something wrong. And then i realised something about hate<br />
- hate is about the hater. They are the ones who have bitterness and bile boiling within<br />
- some hate comes from a misguided place, it really is not hate. sometimes it is peer pressure, sometimes it is just a good joke or punchline.<br />
- hate can hurt or help depending on what you do with it and how long you dwell on it.<br />
<br />
For me, sensitive child that i am, even the careless word means a lot to me. But i am working on it and i see the changes. I can't ever not be hated, there will always be someone who does not like me- justified or not. What i can do is breathe, not dwell and shine.<br />
<br />
If you hate me...<br />

Yay!<br />
Now coffee gets a lot of bad press and i myself ignored it for most of my life, preferring to go for my caffeine fix elsewhere. I have however become quite the quiet addict to it.<br />

I stumbled on some interesting things about coffee recently so check out the Top 5ve!<br />
<br />
5. Coffee is good for your liver! 2 or 3 cups a day are great, especially if you also like your alcohol as they appear to lower the risk of liver cirrhosis. Having said that, coffee can't sober you up sadly...<br />
<br />
4. Coffee did Bach so much 'strong tin' that he had to write an opera about it. This opera was performed in the 1700s. O-kay<br />
<br />
3. So our forefathers had this genius idea of mixing coffee beans with animal fat. Why? It gave them energy!<br />
<br />
2. Personality tests claim people who drink cappuccinos are perfectionists (i drink cappucino) and people who drink their coffee black are quiet and moody... Identify 'yaselves!'<br />
<br />
1. Women in Turkey in the 1500s could divorce their husbands based on one simple but crucial mistake- he did not provide enough coffee.<br />

Adnan Who? Adnan Januzaj that's who!<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was a lovely Saturday that had me having lunch and drinks with Korebrown (my colleague at Top Radio 90.9) in my Manchester United tee. We 'stumbled' on the Manchester United .v. Sunderland game which given the choice i would have missed and 'watched' on twitter instead.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As expected, by the fifth minute, Manchester United was in heart attack mode. You know, when your team gives you reasons to panic. Sunderland was up and thirty minutes later, the team still did not look like a winning team. I was being teased, the jokes had started on twitter and i was done when somehow, Manchester United (still the best team in the world but struggling a bit) got saved from potential embarrassment by Adnan Januzaj.</span></div>

The hiphop star and the Glee actress met...wait for it, on TWITTER! They followed each other, sent a few direct messages, and then they hooked up. They first attended an event together officially in April and Big Sean was all love and smiles when he spoke about her on an episode of "Fashion Police" that i saw him on. I just love their love and i hope they both make each other happy and have beautiful, daring kids together!<br />

So this theory was one i heard while in Law School. My friend had recently split with her boyfriend but was still dating him. Sort of.<br />
One day when i saw her crying, we spoke about it and she put it a bit more crudely- "To get over your ex, get under the next" and she assured me she would be fine once she met someone new.<br />
<br />
I never really processed that laughing it off as things we say when broken.<br />
<br />
I did know though that when i was heartbroken, a compliment from someone new always cheered me up. But then i am a leo- easily pleased.<br />
<br />
Fast track a few years later.<br />
<br />
I fell in love, and then it ended and i, like humpty dumpty, never really got back together again.<br />
I was truly done with love and had considered getting a cat or nine. While i knew in theory that i was over my ex and did not want to be with him any longer, i still hurt, especially when i heard his name.<br />
It got better, like Leona Lewis assures, in time.<br />
<br />
But then i met Mr C<br />
<br />
Mr C got me off guard; i had not gone out that night expecting to 'pull'. I thought i would go out, come home and sleep. But i went out and met Mr C and felt such a huge attraction to him that it is no surprise we started dating.<br />
<br />
And just as my friend predicted. Meeting someone and falling (in intense like?) made me so strong that now, you can even mention my ex's full name and i wouldn't flinch.<br />
<br />
So wait. Does that mean that if you do not fall in love with someone new you cannot get rid of someone old?<br />
<br />
My people, talk to me!SPEECHgirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00688236912526630289noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8978574627595348750.post-63254100812111400232013-09-11T01:05:00.003-07:002013-09-11T01:05:59.425-07:00That's a lieYou broke my heart<br />
I hope you are happy<br />
That's a lie<br />
<br />
I hope you are sad<br />
I hope your heart is broken too<br />
<br />
I hope you miss me<br />
I hope you wonder if you made a mistake<br />
<br />
I hope you want me back<br />
I hope you need me now<br />
<br />
I hope you cry too<br />
I hope you hurt too<br />

Poor thing. You were not born with the whys and the whos and the whys of love embedded in you. So you had to learn it. From the first people you met and knew. From how they said it, showed it, felt it, believed it, taught it.<br />
You learnt to hug or push away, to be free or be guarded, to deceive or be open, to give or to take, or to hoard it.<br />
<br />
We did not come with a manual, so we learn it from those who birth us, keep us, teach us, feed us, 'love' us. Some of us do exactly what we saw. We see love as a battlefield and a fight we have to win, a game we have to play, a treat we have to keep. Some of us love freely and get stung. Some of us never fully decide who we are and what love means. We just walk around aimlessly searching for love, and sometimes, searching more for what love means than what love is.<br />
<br />
Love is love. But what IS love? And who will ever show me what it means?SPEECHgirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00688236912526630289noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8978574627595348750.post-67223739345932859042013-09-03T01:49:00.001-07:002013-09-03T01:49:29.879-07:00Music to Real Life... Part 2So, the second song was one i randomly played on the show today.<br />
While i am not as torn up as Natalie Imbruglia is, i do think it speaks a bit to how i feel today!<br />
Thank you music!<br />
<br />
<br />
NATALIE IMBRUGLIA LYRICS<br />
"Torn"<br />
<br />
I thought, I saw a man brought to life<br />
He was warm, he came around and he was dignified<br />
He showed me what it was to cry<br />
<br />
Well, you couldn't be that man I adored<br />
You don't seem to know<br />
Seem to care what your heart is for<br />
But I don't know him anymore<br />
<br />
There's nothing where he used to lie<br />
The conversation has run dry<br />
That's what's going on<br />
Nothing's fine, I'm torn<br />
<br />
I'm all out of faith<br />
This is how I feel<br />
I'm cold and I am shamed<br />
Lying naked on the floor<br />
<br />
Illusion never changed<br />
Into something real<br />
I'm wide awake and I can see<br />
The perfect sky is torn<br />
You're a little late, I'm already torn<br />
<br />
It crawled beneath my veins<br />
And now I don't care, I had no luck<br />
I don't miss it all that much<br />
There's just so many things<br />
That I can touch, I'm torn<br />
<br />
I'm all out of faith<br />
This is how I feel<br />
I'm cold and I am shamed<br />
Lying naked on the floor<br />
<br />
Illusion never changed<br />
Into something real<br />
I'm wide awake and I can see<br />
The perfect sky is torn<br />
You're a little late, I'm already torn, torn<br />
<br />
There's nothing where he used to lie<br />
My inspiration has run dry<br />
That's what's going on<br />
Nothing's right, I'm torn<br />
<br />
I'm all out of faith<br />
This is how I feel<br />
I'm cold and I am shamed<br />
Lying naked on this floor<br />
<br />
Illusion never changed<br />
Into something real<br />
I'm wide awake and I can see<br />
The perfect sky is torn<br />
<br />
I'm all out of faith<br />
This is how I feel<br />
I'm cold and I'm ashamed<br />
Bound and broken on the floor<br />

Music heals it all... Part 1Hey yo!<br />
<br />
Ever noticed how no matter what you are going through, somehow there is someone who has gone through it and you have the evidence because they sang a song about it?<br />
<br />
Yeah me too.<br />
So today ii have not one, but two songs .<br />
<br />
Let us start with how crappy i have been feeling lately. Just really crappy. Like i am losing it. So to make it worse, my darling team, Manchester United has been breaking my heart lately.<br />
It's tough to explain but when it rains it pours.<br />
<br />
So this morning, i remembered a song i once played when Liverpool beat us by five goals. And as i paraphrased the lyrics for my Man U fans, i realised just how much they could do for anyone going through stuff.<br />
<br />
So here we go<br />
My paraphrased version of T.I's "No Matter What"<br />
<br />
Yeah, yeah, yeah, aye<br />
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo<br />
I say still I stand, aye<br />
And shawty here I am<br />
<br />
Neva have ya seen in ya lifetime<br />
A more divine human being<br />
Wit a swag like mine<br />
Facin all kind of bs<br />
But smile like Im fine<br />
Brag with such passion<br />
And shine without trying<br />
<br />
Believe me, pain's a small thing to a giant<br />
I was born without a handbook<br />
Out tha pain I climbed<br />
Spoke my mind<br />
And didnt stutter one time<br />
Ali say even the greatest<br />
Gotta suffer some time<br />
<br />
I aint dead<br />
(Naw)<br />
I aint done<br />
(Naw)<br />
I aint scared<br />
(Of what?)<br />
I aint run<br />
(From who?)<br />
<br />
But still I stand<br />
(Yeah)<br />
No matter what people<br />
Here I am<br />
(Yeah)<br />
No matter what, remember<br />
<br />
I aint break<br />
(Neva)<br />
I aint fold<br />
(Neva)<br />
They hate me mo<br />
(So!)<br />
Yeah I know<br />
(Haha)<br />
<br />
Here I go<br />
(Yeah)<br />
No matter what shawty, here I go<br />
(Haha)<br />
No matter what shawty<br />
<br />
God'll take you through hell just to get you to heaven<br />
So even though its heavy, the load I will carry<br />
Grin and still bear it<br />
Win and still share it<br />
Apologies to those i hurt, I hope you can understand it<br />
Life can change ya directions<br />
Even when you aint planned it<br />
<br />
All you can do is handle it<br />
The worst thing you could do is panic<br />
Use it to your advantage<br />
Avoid insanity, manage to conquer<br />
Every obstacle, make impossible possible<br />
Even when winning's illogical<br />
Losing's still far from optional<br />
I weather whateva storm<br />
Make it out with just a few bruises<br />
But revenge is best served as a cold dish<br />
And suckas will get served nigga, no shit<br />
Guess it was understood, for me it was over with<br />
But I dont quit if ya aint notice yet<br />
They couldnt wait to say good night shawty<br />
So they can try to rhyme, act and look like shawty<br />
Somehow I rise above my problems and remain here<br />
Yeah and I hope the picture painted clear<br />
If ya heart filled with faith then ya cant fear<br />
Wonder how I face years and Im still chillin?<br />
Easy, let go and let God deal wit it<br />
<br />

Understanding a rule is one thing, but can i explain it? Watch my valiant attempt at breaking the offside rule down with some shopping analogy!<br />

<br />
As of then, they were officially off again with both of them having gone through great lengths to show they had moved on and yet he shows up for her birthday with a rose.<br />
<br />
So, what does that mean when your ex brings a rose to you on your birthday?<br />
<br />
If that happened to me...<br />
- with an ex i still liked, it would destabilise me and make me wonder!<br />
- with an ex i no longer cared for, it would come across as pretty pathetic.<br />
<br />
For him to have brought that rose and not try to sneak in or anything, i believe he knew for sure there would be no current boyfriend giving him the eye, and his gift would not be thrown to the floor dramatically.<br />

<br />
<br />
So what is it with celebrities like Chris Brown and Rihanna, and now Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez not being able to make clean breaks?<br />
<br />
Personally, when a relationship ends, i think of it as over, done, dusted, o look here is the museum you can hang our memories up at over.<br />
On and Off again? That can't be healthy!<br />
<br />
Are you a clean break kind of person or does it take you a few starts and stops to finally end things?<br />

The #OutOnALimb walk was an awareness walk for children living with disabilities.<br />
We all met up beside Mobil on Awolowo Road, networked and began walking to Falomo and back. We were kept hydrated and it was so well organised.<br />

When we got back to the take-off point, we learnt a bit about why it is important to always have a registered and licensed surgeon/doctor/physio-therapist take care of kids with injuries. Sometimes amputations occur where something simple is left untreated or not treated properly.<br />

<br />
Now i am a party animal. Or i was. When i was in secondary school and the university, i lived for parties. Especially dancing. I was convinced i would one day fall in love on the dance floor. Hasn't happened yet, but fingers crossed.<br />
In Uni, i would dress comfy to go clubbing. See i was not going to check out what other girls wore. My mission was simple- dance and then sleep the next day<br />
And it was pretty much a good routine.<br />
<br />
But now that i work in media and entertainment, going out is no longer mostly social. Now it is work. And it never sinks in that sometimes, people go out, actually just to hang out.<br />
Really?<br />
<br />
So when a friend told me to come to his house for a party, i truly debated it.<br />
What to wear<br />
When to get there<br />
How long to stay for<br />
Make up? or no?<br />
Heels or flats?<br />
Take something along or just show up<br />
<br />
etc<br />
etc<br />
etc<br />
<br />
In the end, i wore a simple black top and skirt combo with flats. And boy was i glad i did!<br />
It was laid back and casual with food, cake, and drinks.<br />
And music<br />
<br />
I went from not wanting to go, to dancing and not wanting to leave.<br />
<br />
It was fun, i had fun, and i will try it again<br />
<br />

It seems i have had dreds or twists for a very long time. There are believe who wonder if i have ever fixed a weave, braided or permed.</div>

I loved my hair, but i never really knew what to do with it. And one day when i saw some lady on the road with twists (fake dreds), i asked where she got it done and did that. Then one day i braided my hair and loved the way it looked when i unbraided it but had not combed it. I decided that was fun. I got confused again though when i saw one of the most stylish chicks i have met, Tomi, with an afro. Apparently it was a wig. She lied to me and said she cut her hair completely and started growing it.<br />
<br />
She was shocked to see me the next day in school with my hair completely shaven.<br />
<br />
And as it grew, i suffered to comb my lovely black kinky hair.<br />
Till i remembered twists. And i spent a whole Sunday twisting the hair. It was torture. But when it was done, it looked great.<br />

Sinceri-tea<br />
And so on<br />
<br />
It is alnost cheesy but for someone who is a tea addict like myself, it is perfect!<br />
<br />
I love tea. I love when it is black and when it has milk. I love it with sugar or with honey. I love it when it is flavoured and when it is plain. I love tea so much that i love agbo when it is hot and dark and in a tea mug.<br />
<br />
But what about the other teas in my life?<br />
Do i keep things simple?<br />
I am the queen of complicated/complications/complexi-tea<br />
<br />
I love that line in that Lauryn Hill song; "It could all be so simple but you'd rather make it hard"<br />
But instead of it being me singing it for someone, i imagine i am the one they are singing it to.<br />
It could all be so simple but id rather make it hard.<br />
<br />
I think my new year resolution for the last four years has been to simplify. And yet<br />
<br />
More than three twitter acounts<br />
two facebook accounts<br />
four facebook fanpages<br />
A thousand email addresses<br />
A million job descriptions.<br />
<br />
I doubt i could make it all simple even if i wanted to<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
But are you ever worried when you are happy?</div>
<div>
I am. Almost all the time. It's like at the back of my mind i am thinking, "Things have to balance out, i am going to cry soon".</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My friends always tell me to shut up when i start doing that. And sometimes i do. But that niggling feeling always pops its head.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
An artiste friend of mine (one of those that write beautifully and feel like they can break down emotionally. I am convinced i love him. I bet so is every other girl that meets him or his music) once said noone knows what happiness is.</div>
<div>
I disagreed then and disagree now.</div>
<div>
I know what it is, i have been happy before. Several times sef.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Happiness is just peace. It's like, "wow, this is good"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I like being happy</div>
<div>
And yet, i feel i like being unhappy just as much</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All the songs on my phone either make me cry or make me remember when i cried.</div>
<div>
I have been told i make 'emo music'. I once came into a producer's studio where everyone is chirpy.</div>
<div>
I left with everyone almost in tears. I had treated them to my playlist.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Yeah.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And yet my job and my life plan and desire involves making people happy.</div>
<div>
How can someone who makes so many people happy not know how to stay happy?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

Hey all! Just to remind you that my album came out on christmas day! Would appreciate your love and support!SPEECHgirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00688236912526630289noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8978574627595348750.post-10962144773981312352012-11-11T11:29:00.000-08:002012-11-11T11:32:32.050-08:00losing my glasses...letting goSo today, I went to the beach.
My earliest beach memories include my dad and my mum taking us out with beach mats, drinks and sandwiches. It was fun
Then I grew up and it was cooler to go with friends.
And then I just stopped going.
The beach seems like a place you go when you have a party. Not 'just because'.
But 'just because' I did, today, with my colleagues from #NGT.
It was so much fun.
Wore a yellow dress, wore a hat, wore sandals, took pictures, held a novel, bought some drinks, had some laughs. And stood by the water.
Now it would have ended with just that, but I saw people like Thomas and Dieter and Lanre and Yemi pushing the boundaries and enjoying the waves.
And I wanted to experience that.
So I asked Thomas to hold me as I went a little further.
O my!
The rush when the waves hit you. But the assurance you have knowing someone is holding you and keeping you from falling in.
Like how God holds us and we really should stop panicking. God has got you my friend.
So the one big wave came and soaked me. And someone asked, "tosyn, where are your glasses?". And I realised, they were gone with the waves.
We did make a spirited effort to look for them. But yeah right.
Bye Bye companion.
Got those glasses on New Year's Day. At the Children's section cos my old pair had been broken the night before.
And I wore them since then and never got a spare.
Now I am home (and hiding from my mum who's mad at me for getting soaked seeing as I am ill), and wearing some old pair I found which works a little well for my short sightedness but not for my astigmatism.
So it's back to me seeing the world as it slopes. I really wish I could screen capture how my eyes see things at this moment.
Bye red glasses, you served me well.
But hello the best ten minutes of my day.
I feel alive!SPEECHgirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00688236912526630289noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8978574627595348750.post-23768503057995477482012-11-03T00:51:00.002-07:002012-11-03T00:51:21.163-07:00This is Your life.. Are you who YOU want to be?So, Tonto Dikeh released two new singles a few weeks ago. Now she trended and reportedly got over a million downloads. And some think, all for the wrong reasons.<br />
At work, my colleagues and i loved dancing to 'High'. Tope, one of my colleagues, knew all the lyrics within an hour of us putting the song on repeat.<br />
Like i said, Europe, Glo sticks, Alcohol, 4am, Club, and that song would sell out.<br />
I like it.<br />
<br />
But this post isn't even about the song per se. It is about those who have balls and those who don't.<br />
<br />
Now so many people got angry, but it occurred to me that some of those who were angry probably would never fight for their own material the way Tonto calmly released her song, overlooked the hate and kept going on.<br />
Some people stay at home and knock themselves down in advance by thinking of what people would or would not say.<br />
They want to model but on twitter there are so many jokes about how everyone is a model these days, so they never work on their portfolio. They are good writers but instead of opening a blog, they listen to people laugh at bloggers and how suddenly everyone owns a blog. (re: blogs. It is okay for EVERYONE to own a blog. That is what a blog is all about. It is like an online diary. I don't get why all the fuss.)<br />
<br />
My point is, sometimes we spend so much time knocking ourselves down that there is no need for anyone else to do it for us.<br />
And for me, i pray i can truly say, this is my life, this is who i want to be.<br />
Not some times, but ALL the time.<br />
